To enable you to get a Florida driver's license, you must have a legal residence (physical address) in Florida. Our mail forwarding service provides this.

You should register to vote in the state you declare as your domicile. You also should file a notarized Declaration of Domicile form in the county where you have set up your physical address with the county clerk.
